CHICAGO, Oct lin his lecture Monday
night G F. Train, the psychic" statesman,
denounced the Knights ofiLabor as miserable
jackasses TO talk about eight hours work He
had got up at a. m. when a boy and worked
until night The true solution of the labor
question was proper compensation for each
hours labor, and let the workman make his
day long or short as he please. Let hun I've
paid for what he does aud labor as long as
be likes and when he likes This sentiment
was applauded yociferously, and restored the
good nature of those who had showed signs
of discomfort at the reference to the Knights
of Labor. He gave each of the reporters
a buttonbole bouquet and Turkish bath
ticket. and treated them 10 basket of grapes.

Following the example of many similar
gatherings the committee on Sunday OBJ
seryance of the late Rock River confer
ence reported resolutions denouncing
Sunday newspapers and requesting min
listers not to insert their pulpit notices in
them and members of the church to re-
fuse to read them ami advertise in them
Following past presidents, too, it Is
likely that the resolutions will have little
effect Such Of the members of the de-
nomination as are business men will find
it necessary TO advertise ID Sunday news
papers in order to hold their own with
their competitors, and the people gem
orally will continue to read them. IL is
doubtful if there is an American institu-
ton more strongly intrenched than the
Sunday newspaper, or one upon which
incessant attacks have been more futile.
1t may be matter for regret that this is
Sc. but the fact remains undeniable. The
Sunday issue of newspaper is often
more profitable than all the week day
issues put together. Take the New York
World. for instance. Its circulation on
Sundays is fully $1,000 greater than on
any other day in the week, and its adver-
Using patronage is even propOrtionately
larger. Last Sundays edition con-
sisted of thirty six pages, Or 1852 columns,
the greater part of which was occupied
by advertisements and was, of course
enormously profitable. This is only one
instance. The same fact may be seen
illustrated in Chicago, st. Louis, Boston.
Cincinnati, indeed in every large city in
the union. Moreover, it is undeniable
that the tendency is toward increased
popularity for this particular edition
rather than the contrary.
Another point that the opponents of
Sunday newspapers overlooked is that
the work upon them is not performed on
the Lords day, but on Saturday and
Saturday night. The real Sunday paper.
so far as the violation of the Sabbath is
concerned, is that published on Monday
morning.
More would be accomplished for re-
ligion and morality if the efforts wasted
in trying to abolish the Sunday news
papers were directed toward improving il.
1t should and could be made ltss frivol-
GUS and more earnest and sincere No |
one could be blind to the faults of ma
iority of the Sunday newspapers at pres
ent. If conducted upon higher plane
they could be made an even more potent
instrument for good than the pulpit

THE Wisconsin supreme court has just

THE Wisconsin supreme court has just
rendered an important decision which
will prove of interest 10 the thousands OF
members of the various societies which
are founded upon the assessment princi>
pie. A member of the Odd Fellows Nh
tual Assessment company died suddenly,
leaving two overdue assessments which
his friends rendered TO the company. and
which were refused on the ground that
he had lost his membership by his neglect
to make prompt payments. Ii was
shown in the evidence that il had been
the custom of the dec ased member 10
psy in arrears. and that the company b ID
accepted the money not only after thirty
DAYS, but after sixty days had expired,
With this evidence before IT. The supreme
court affirmed the decision of the lowee
court and held that the fact that the
company had so often accepted the mem
ber's assessment after sixty days, was n
waving of the rule voiding the policy.
